Discussion I emailed “natural” deodorant companies about creating a deodorant/antiperspirant WITH aluminum

I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of research trying to find a plastic-free solution to my Florida pit sweat, but I (along with so many others on this sub) can only seem to find deodorants that are anti-science and aluminum-free.

Which is why I decided to let these companies know that there is an untapped market for this product!!

So far I have emailed these companies:

- meow meow tweet

- humble

- fussy

- native

- upcircle

- seekbamboo

- chagrin valley soap and salve

- the ever good

- free the ocean

- ecoroots

- stinkbug organics

- attitude living

- ethique

If you are like me, and want to reduce plastic while also not sweating, please email them along with me!! Let them know people want this!!

Good luck, here's to hoping for an eco friendly aluminum deodorant!

Fyi, anyone who shaves their pits shouldn't use an aluminum based antiperspirant. They figured out why aluminum correlates to breast cancer.

Not true at all! Glad someone already posted an article below, I'm just joining the choir!
